An early-day family, dressed in their best for a relaxingday of sightseeing, poses for a photograph in front of the grand “Hotel Sequoia.” The little girls in the “doorway” have decorated their straw hats with ferns and flora, after the fashion of the day, to resemble the grown-up hats of their mothers. The little boy, perched only momentarily, one senses, on a mound of sorrel, glances keenly up at the camera—apparently in response to a direction from the photographer. What important project is he working on—is he whittling something? A. W. Ericson took this photo, circa 1900.
